He just broke up with his girlfriend and is already living with the devilish rich girl.

A trickle of blood slowly flowed down Bai Ziheng's lips.

It was particularly jarring on that calm face.

Qinghan, who was bound to the dragon pillar, bit the tip of her tongue.

Ignoring the chains binding him that could tear his soul apart, he used the last bit of his dragon power to unleash a sky full of sword energy.

They transformed into golden barriers, attempting to protect Bai Ziheng.

At the same time, they wanted to forcibly teleport him away.

But Bai Ziheng simply raised his hand, signaling her to stop.

He turned his head slightly and gave Qinghan a reassuring smile.

"don’t worry."

"What do you mean, 'don't worry'?! Your heart has been taken! You're going to die!!"

Qinghan's voice became shrill due to excitement and fear.

"Don't worry." Bai Ziheng's voice remained calm, even carrying a hint of relief.

"Where does your confidence come from?! That's your core! Your foundation!"

"Because I'm very strong."

It was a smile of unwavering confidence, even tinged with a hint of mockery.

Qinghan was stunned.

She felt that Bai Ziheng in front of her had changed.

That person who used to be cold and distant, keeping their distance from everyone.

The boy, who seemed to be untouched by anything in the world, has vanished.

Now, at this critical moment between life and death, he can actually show such a reassuring quality.

There was even a hint of...warmth in her smile.

People say that it was Bai Ziheng who changed the capricious and unpredictable Venerable Luo Yao, who regarded all things as straw dogs.

However, Luo Yao's feelings were intense, direct, and even somewhat unreasonable.

Was it unintentionally that this boy, who was originally as pure as ice and snow, was sculpted into someone with more human touch?

Doesn't it feel more like a real person now?

However, at this moment, the old man no longer wanted to care about Bai Ziheng.

He held the still-beating, radiant golden heart in his hands.

His whole body was trembling violently from extreme excitement.

"This...this is the heart of the deity..."

"Hahaha...hahahaha! Mirage One! Mirage One!! I did it!! I finally did it!!!!"

He seemed to be holding the most precious treasure in the world, or like a ravenous ghost that had been starving for millions of years.

I saw the most delicious food.

He opened his withered mouth and took a bite without hesitation!

Golden blood splattered everywhere, and his mouth was instantly filled with extremely rich life energy.

He ate and swallowed frantically.

He swallowed the heart that belonged to the gods whole.

"ah--!!!"

An unprecedented, immense, and unimaginable power exploded within his body!

He felt his body being reshaped, his withered flesh becoming plump again.

An aging soul is rejuvenated with new life, power, and inexhaustible strength.

It's surging from every corner of his body!

"...I feel it...I feel my own power! I am omnipotent! All things in this world will tremble beneath my feet! I am the new god! I am the sole ruler of this world!!"

The old man's power expanded wildly, and the entire sea of ​​clouds in the North Sea churned and howled under his terrifying pressure!

The sky darkened, and thunder roared for him!

He enjoyed the pleasure that this power brought him.

Then she slowly turned her head and looked at Bai Ziheng, who was still standing quietly in the same place.

Why...are you still alive?

Bai Ziheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, still wearing that calm and collected smile.

"It's just a heart. If you like it, eat more."

"If that's not enough, I have more here."

"What...?" The old man was stunned.

"But don't forget what my powers are."

Bai Ziheng kindly reminded him.

"I thought you were quite shrewd, calculating things so clearly."

"But I never expected you would actually dare to eat my heart."

"What exactly... do you mean?"

An ominous premonition began to fester in the old man's heart.

"My power is fusion."

"I exist in this world, and the world becomes one with me."

"Therefore, my existence can almost be described as being one with this world, inseparable from it."

"Every drop of my blood, every inch of my skin, contains the laws of this world."

"And you devoured my core."

The old man suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

This power... this power so strong that it allowed him to disregard everything...

Why... does it seem like I... can't fully control myself anymore?

"You have become a part of me."

They seemed to possess their own consciousness, rampaging through his body, not only failing to merge with him but also acting as if...

Devour him in reverse!

Bai Ziheng smiled and slowly raised his hand.

"Stop resisting, return to your origin."

His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable command.

"Since you like my power so much, then immerse yourself in it and experience it properly."

"No! No, no, no!!!"

The old man screamed in terror, trying to run away and expel the power from his body!

But it was too late.

The power he had absorbed had now transformed into countless golden vines.

It grew from inside his body, tightly enveloping him, pulling him toward Bai Ziheng!

Finally, amidst the old man's desperate roar, his entire body and soul were forcibly merged with that immense life force.

It transformed into a towering tree that pierced the clouds!

The tree was entirely golden, radiating a sacred glow.

But then, the tree began to wither at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Countless golden leaves fell, like the warmest sunlight, sprinkling onto this sea of ​​clouds stained red with blood.

They fell onto the corpses of the dead dragons.

The damaged body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, regaining its vitality!

One of the leaves drifted down and landed lightly on Qinghan's forehead.

A warm and powerful life force instantly flowed into her body.

Her wounds were healing rapidly, and the chains binding her were breaking inch by inch under this force.

"How...how did you...do that...?"

Looking at this miraculous scene before him, Qinghan murmured a question.

"It's very simple," Bai Ziheng explained.

"His power is the fishing of cause and effect, which means that he did not actually kill all your people, but used the power of 'cause and effect' to imprison their 'life' within the rules he set."

"Put them in the illusion that they are dead."

"Now, he is devouring my heart; this cause has yielded the result that I have merged with."

"And because of my power of fusion, he himself, and all his power, including the cause and effect he set, have become a part of me."

"Now that his own existence has disappeared due to the backlash of cause and effect, all the casualties he caused are naturally invalid."

What... what kind of power is this?

"This isn't the power of fusion... This is sophistry, this is turning black into white..."

"hey-hey."

Bai Ziheng noticed her confusion and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Indeed, this kind of rogue-like power of rules is not mine."

"It was a small gift that another friend gave me specifically for this occasion."

"Its name is Truth Refutation."

Really...

Qinghan looked at him, speechless.

These people... how can they wield their power so... so irrationally!

but……

She watched as her people, one by one, were regained in the golden rain of light.

Looking at their expressions, which went from bewilderment to ecstasy.

Tears, finally unable to be held back, slid down her cheeks.

This is really...wonderful...

Everyone's still here...that's so great.
